I worked at Cherokee Temps in Broken Arrow and one of our clients was ELT (Electronics Labeling Company) at Elm and 71st. I was in charge of looking for people to work for this company and had to take them down there to introduce them to their new supervisors. During a walk through of the company I was introduced to all of the supervisors in their departments. I was led through the warehouse back to shipping and receiving where I was introduced to one of THE hottest guys I have EVER met in my life. From that day forward I made every trip down to ELT for whatever reason I could think of. I was first to offer to run checks down to them, first to offer to show around new hires, first to go do anything down the street just so I could talk to Jason Spriggs. I remember floating home almost daily. As it got closer to Christmas I began to ask him what he wanted for Christmas and he told me a Porsche. So I would not seem TOO obvious, I also asked the other two guys working in that area what kind of cars they wanted for Christmas. I hit Walmart after work that day and found all three of the cars for the guys. I wrapped them up and took them down there to them. Again, I didn't want to seem too obvious so I made sure to pay attention to all three of them that day and gave all three of them cars for Christmas.
His Porsche sits on our nightstand next to the bed to this day. :)
December 23...When I gave him his car he thought it was funny and told me that I would have to help him spend some gift cards he had received for Tony Roma's from a client. I thought he was totally joking so I told him sure, I can do that and left to go back to work. I seriously thought he was joking - until I got back to work and got the phone call from him that would eventually change my life forever. He was asking when would be a good time to go out. I wanted to fall over - never in my wildest dreams did I think this man would want to go out with me. Haha!!
December 23...this is the night Jason and I had our first date many moons ago. Every year we go out on a date to celebrate our Dateaversary (as we like to call it) :) We have gone out every December 23 from that very first night. Our first date was at Tony Roma's and for the first couple of years we went there every year. Then one year there was a freak snowstorm that put the city on shutdown. But that didn't stop us from going out - we still went out to try to go to Tony Roma's - but they were closed due to the weather so we found someplace new that year. And for every year afterward we have spent this evening together.
December 23, 2012 - this year I feel rather lost without him here. This is the first time we have EVER missed going out and I have to admit that I am lonely and missing him tonight more than ever.
Awwww...We still go out on our first date night, too--and had to miss it due to deployment, too! : ( Thinking of you all and praying you all have a good Christmas. I hope you get 2 nights out to make up for missing this one!
